Each week, we bring together five classical trivia questions ranging from common knowledge to the obscure (and no matter how you score, the chance to learn something new makes everyone a winner).
RULES: Tuesday Trivia is open to everyone, but prizes will only be awarded to residents of the United States. To qualify, responses must be received by 12 p.m. (Noon) on the Thursday after each week’s Tuesday Trivia is released. A winner will be randomly selected from the pool of participants who score the highest for that week.
